第二部分: 阅读理解(第一节共 20 小题,第二节 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 50 分)
阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将
该选项标号涂黑。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source
of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them
read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know"
all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they
are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught
fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their
fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say
something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I
books this year, but I want you to read them only
would like you to read a lot of
for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand
the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on
reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.
"
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who
had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me
steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said
slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously,
"I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk,
From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to
myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading
Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy
going?" She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the
next good part. "
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting,
joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad
parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our
mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of
"understanding" that can be dug out of a book.
41. According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result
from .
A. reading little and thinking little
B. reading often and adventurously
C. being made to read too much
D. being made to read aloud before others

A. it sounded stupid
B. it was not surprising at all
C. it sounded too good to be true
D. it was no different from other teachers' talk
44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the
D. for higher scores in exams
B. for knowledge
passage?
A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
45. From the teacher's point of view, .
A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading

That can be
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph
is a lot like reading a story .
The graph has a title ,a main idea ,and supporting details .You can use your active
reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text .
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title ,
a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph
before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data
came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).
Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important.
It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being
shown. A legend, also called a key ,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the
graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form
a corner, Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis
will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show
amounts. In Graph 1 ,we see that the x-axis shows grades
that students earned, and the y-axis shows bow many
students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students
earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the
vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can
get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph ,but instead of
Bars, it plots points and connects them with a line .It has
the Same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can
be read the same way .To read a line graph, it's important
to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line
segments between the points, This type of graph is most
commonly used to show how something changes over time.
Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the
first Five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the
y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that ,on the first day, the pipit flew 20
kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the
bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day
5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer
kilometers than the day before. This line
graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections,
and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to
show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction
of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each
slice. This pie graph shows on month's expense, (See Graph 3 ).
Food $ 25
Movies $ 12
Clothing $ 36
Savings $ 20
Books $ 7
46. When used in a graph,a legend is_____
A. a guide to the symbols and colors

D. Day 4
49. Which of the following cost Amy most ?
A. Food.
B. Books
C. Movies
D. Clothing.

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go
in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number
of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead,we are diurnal creatures,
with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. This is a basic evolutionary fact ,
even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it's the only
way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to
filling it with light.
receive us by
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light
pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light
pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial
light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Ⅲ-designed lighting washes out the
darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light
rhythms —
to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light
spills into the natural l world ,
some aspect or life is affected .
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind
a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We've grown so used to this orange
haze that the original gloiy of an unlit nigh, - dark enough for the planet Venus
to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could
be further form the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is
astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as
a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and
seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares
on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit
tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are
as much as a million times righter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their
behavior out of joint including most other creatures ,we do need darkness .Darkness
is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our making ,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary
and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In
a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the
universe, to forget the scale of our
being, which is best measured against the
dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy arching overhead.

In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united
in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust.
But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.”
But we’ll do it.” Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe
the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise.
